Ubuntu Gajim: not detecting python-axolotl #57

Closed Noah-Huppert closed 8 years ago

Noah-Huppert commented 8 years ago

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 xenial
Python: Python 2.7.11+
PIP: pip 8.1.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)
Gajim: 0.16.5 

$ sudo -H pip list | grep python-axolotl
python-axolotl (0.1.35)
python-axolotl-curve25519 (0.1)
$ python -c "import axolotl"

If you would like me to run any more commands to get information about my system I would be glad to provide their outputs.

After installing the gajim-omemo plugin via the Gajim UI I saw the warning and installed python-axolotl via PIP and rebooted.

However when I reopened Gajim and went to enable the plugin the warning ("Warning: Please install python-axolotl.") was still there. In the system information block above, you will see how I verified that python-axolotl was installed via PIP and that I could import the axolotl module in the Python REPL.

I think this could be duplicate. Please read through previous issues and double check

check your protobuf version. the message itself "please install axolotl" could mean other dependencys are missing.

@Noah-Huppert so is this issue still present for you? or else i will close this

Noah-Huppert commented 8 years ago

Installing the correct protobuf version fixed this issue. However I think showing an error message warning the user to install a python dependency that is already installed is not the right course of action when the root cause of an the issue is something else.

I have it on my list, the error message will print whats really missing in the future. thanks
